Abstract

As the reality of “globalization” dawned, Christian churches adopted various modes of evangelization: conversion, witness, solidarity, and dialogue. The co-existence of these modes within various denominations and organizations (both Protestant and Catholic) fosters tension and conflict. For the majority of lay American Catholics, their warm reception of Dignitatis Humanae and of the spirit of Vatican II led to a generalized and somewhat uncritical acceptance of religious pluralism—accompanied by a withdrawal from the “hard conversion” model of the pre-conciliar era. In the next phase of the human rights era, religious leaders should identify and enlarge the common ground they share.
